DP67BG Motherboard
I have just rebuilt my PC using a DP67BG board along with a i5 2500k cpu and
8Gb 1600 RAM (2 x4GB sticks Crucial Ballistix). I had a problem getting windows 7 Pro 64 bit to install, it would fail at the unpacking files stage. I ended up taking one of the memory sticks out leaving 1 x 4Gb in slot 1, windows then loaded correctly. I have subsequently updated the BIOS to ver 1979. Does anyone know if this a known issue or if there another setting I have missed in the BIOS? I have not overclocked the machine and it is running at default settings. I don't really want to have to remove memory every time I reinstall windows. TIA Robert |

I don't really want to have to remove memory every time I reinstall windows. It could simply be a bad memory stick. Run Memtest86+ on it, and see if the stick fails. Yousuf Khan |

I also had 2 other sticks and substituted each with the same result. It seems that others have had similar problems with windows 7 using a variety of board/memory/processor combinations. Bob |
